The latest in A.I. | For thousands of years, amateurs and professionals alike have dedicated themselves to the ancient Chinese board game Go. This week, Google's artificial intelligence group, DeepMind, unveiled a program so smart, it mastered the game in just 3 days, without any human help and only the rules as a guide. In this special episode, Mark explains how AlphaGo Zero didn't stop there, it then hit 2 more milestones, one at 21 days and another no one thought possible in just 40 days. This new benchmark in Artificial intelligence demonstrates how freeing machines from the limits of human knowledge shows us just how smart they can become without us.
